PONTIAC POLICY
Mechanical speedometers are warranted under the "New Car Limited Warranty" for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Units requiring
repair during the warranty period must be sent to an authorized AC-Delco Speedometer Service Center.
Extended Warranty Vehicles
Figure 1 - Warranty Repair Claim
Mechanical speedometers repaired on vehicles with over 12,000 miles and/or 12 months but covered by the Optional Limited Warranty Extension will
require that a copy of the Extended Warranty Approval Card be submitted along with the Warranty Repair Claim (ACD 1078 A) (Fig. 1.) The Extended
Warranty Approval Card should be located in the owner's warranty folder.. This will provide the Warranty Repair Center with evidence that the vehicle
is covered for the extended warranty period.
EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Many AC-Delco Service Centers offer an exchange program for 1986 speedometers in need of repair. However, prior approval of the owner to accept a
repaired unit must be obtained and noted on the repair order. The program is very helpful in reducing customer inconvenience.
Participation in the exchange program is voluntary on the part of the AC-Delco Service Center; therefore, all centers do not offer this service. Dealers
should check with their AC-Delco Service Center to see if the exchange program is available and if the specific speedometer required is available.
